Douluo: Star Crown Glory

Chapter 101 Purple Pearl

The boring days were really boring. Xu Mingxi leaned on the observation deck and looked at the unchanging scenery in the distance. After putting on the mask, even the sea breeze could not blow.

A year has passed since we set out from the Sun and Moon Continent in the Swordfish. Fortunately, we did not encounter any major natural disasters this time. With Xu Mingxi and the Great Elder, the Swordfish was able to sail safely along the planned route.

By comparing the speed of the Swordfish and the Sharktooth, combined with the time it took the Sharktooth to depart from Hanhai City and arrive at the Sun and Moon Continent, the sailors and navigators on the ship speculated that they are now close to the Douluo Continent, and will reach Hanhai City in another ten days or half a month.

If Xu Mingxi didn't go ashore, he would have vomited due to his training. After absorbing the soul ring and soul bone of the Moon Worshiping Wolf King, his soul power reached the peak of level 92, and this year he directly broke through to level 93.

Moreover, he was able to absorb more and more moonlight essence. With the help of Xu Mingxi, the two Soul Douluo elders reached level 84.

As for the Great Elder, perhaps because of his broken arm, his soul power did not increase and is still at level 92. However, he is now keen on soul guides. With the help of the soul guide drawings, carving knives and soul guide metals that they had looted in Risheng City, he has now become a sixth-level soul engineer.

Suddenly, Xu Mingxi saw Huo Quan cleaning the deck below. This kid had a comfortable life in the past few years. With the help of Song Jiang, he obtained his third and fourth soul rings and became a soul master.

"Huo Quan, come up here for a moment."

"Mr. Xu, what do you want me to do?"

"You said you were born on Poseidon Island, right? Do you have any plans to go back?"

"How can that be possible? The moment they expelled my parents from Poseidon Island, I was no longer considered a Poseidon Islander. Besides, I still want to follow you, sir."

"That's fine. You can come back to Xingguan Sect with me then. But I would like to ask you, have your parents ever told you about the Sea God..."

Before Xu Mingxi could finish his words, he saw a ship appearing ahead. After seeing the Swordfish, it immediately turned its bow.

"Huo Quan, see what's going on with that ship over there."

"Yes."

Huo Quan's eyes were shining. The spirit rings he absorbed were all helpful in improving his observation ability. Even though his combat effectiveness was slightly insufficient, he would definitely be the strongest scout on the continent once he grew up.

"Sir, that is a transport ship. The captain is a woman in purple clothes. I think I have seen her somewhere when I was in Douluo Continent.

No, they were not transport ships. Those people stripped off the clothes and soul guides of some people on the ship who looked like children of nobles, and threw them into the sea.

Oh, I remember now, they are the Purple Pearl Pirates, pirates who like to disguise themselves as transport ships."

Ignoring Huo Quan who was startled, Xu Mingxi looked at the ship that was gradually moving away and directly ordered them to chase it. With the speed of the Swordfish, they would definitely not be able to escape.

However, the name Zi Zhenzhu seemed familiar. It seemed that she was a woman that Tang San met when he went to Poseidon Island. It had been so long that Xu Mingxi had no impression of these insignificant plots.

On the other side, on the Purple Pearl, Captain Purple Pearl kicked a rich young man who was stripped naked into the sea. He stood at the stern with one foot on the railing, looking at the approaching Swordfish with an unsightly expression.

The speed of the Purple Pearl had been increased to its fastest, but it still could not outrun the seafaring soul guide that was chasing it from behind. Someone who could possess a soul guide of this level was not someone that a mere Soul Emperor like her could afford to provoke.

They couldn't run away, and they couldn't fight back. What else could they do except surrender? Purple Pearl waved her hand and swung her cape behind her. "All crew members, stop the ship. We surrender."

As the Purple Pearl slowly stopped, the Swordfish quickly caught up, and Xu Mingxi jumped directly from the lookout tower onto the deck of the Purple Pearl.

"We have no ill intentions. We just want to go to Hanhai City. Please lead us the way."

The route of the Shark Tooth shown on the route board is too complicated around Hanhai City, almost a mess. In order to avoid going wrong, it is best to have a guide leading the way.

"You are too polite, sir. We can certainly help you lead the way. You just need to follow us."

"No, your ship is too slow. You can get on my ship to show the way, and your people will drive this ship back."

Feeling the pressure coming from the person opposite her, Zi Zhenzhu had no choice but to do as she was told, otherwise she would die in the sea and no one would know.

When she jumped onto the Swordfish, she actually saw an old acquaintance here.

"Song Jiang, Shui Fu, you two are not dead."

"Hey, isn't this Purple Pearl? How can we die if you are not dead?"

The three of them were famous figures in Hanhai City and had known each other for many years. They were both rivals and friends. Song Jiang had also been hired by nobles to hunt down the Purple Pearl Pirates.

Zi Zhenzhu wanted to say a few more words, but under Xu Mingxi's oppressive gaze, she obediently pointed the way to the navigator in charge of driving the boat before walking towards Song Jiang.

"Song Jiang, what happened to you guys back then? You suddenly disbanded the mercenary group and disappeared."

"You saw it, we followed Master Xu out to the open sea and are only coming back now."

"Really? It's incredible that you're still alive after all these years. Are you still stuck at the Soul Emperor level?"

Soon, Zi Zhenzhu looked at Song Jiang's pitch-black seventh soul ring and was extremely envious. He was a level 75 Soul Saint. Maybe he could even become a Soul Douluo in this lifetime. Did he gain so much from this trip to the sea?

With Purple Pearl's guidance, Xu Mingxi reached Hanhai City in just 20 days. He immediately saw the small business on the shore with the Xingguan Sect's logo hanging on it.
This was specially set up by the sect leader in Hanhai City after they left, in order to get the news of their return as soon as possible.

"Song Jiang, your mercenary group has been disbanded. Do you want to go back to Xingguan Sect with us?"

Mr. and Mrs. Song Jiang looked at each other and shook their heads. Now they just wanted to return to their home. However, before leaving, Shui Fu said that if there was a chance, he would bring the younger generations of the family to visit.

Xu Mingxi did not force it and gave them the eliminated Shark Tooth. He also told Shuifu that Xingguan Sect welcomed them to visit at any time. Even though they did not have the friendship of being on the same ship for so many years, Xingguan Sect still needed a Soul Douluo Seed.

Finally setting foot on Douluo Continent, Xu Mingxi and the three elders were extremely excited. They grabbed Huo Quan and the Xingguan Sect disciples guarding Hanhai Town and headed straight towards the sect.

After more than ten years, they finally returned to this land. Now they just want to go back to their clan as soon as possible and see their family members whom they miss day and night.
